Hey guys,
Sign up to the Hoyts movie club or update your existing details and score yourself a free movie ticket!!! Be quick as movie is valid before 1st Nov 2008!
EDIT:
For some reason on the Hoyts website it states movie valid before 1st Nov 2008 but when you receive the email confirmation it states movie valid before 12th Nov 2008. So the 12th Nov 2008 it is :)
yay update mobile & Free Movie ticket to be used before 12th Nov
Email received:
Thank you for joining the Hoyts Movie Club. You can now use your free ticket for any film, any session until 12th November, 2008.
Your Flix for Nix voucher redemption code will be sent to mobile number xxxxxx. If this is incorrect please click here to update your mobile number details.
I am trying to update my account information, however, I keep getting an error "Sorry, we have encountered an error creating your account. Please sign up at the cinema." after clicking on "update information". Anyone else having similar problems?
Ye I had the same problem… Just created another account using another email address and a different mobile number…
thanks for the response and tip!
Hmm, mine says before 12th…thanks anyway! Good bargain. :D
Got the SMS immediately too! And redeemed - \o/
"Simply print the voucher attached to this email and present at the box office at any Hoyts cinema until 12th November 2008 to receive your free ticket.
Please note that this voucher cannot be used for La Premiere, Directors Suite or thehalfpipe luxury cinemas."
Thank you :)
Thanks mate! (And yeah, the email told me till the 12th/Nov)
Hmmm… have now set up new account but am not getting the SMS. Have changed the mobile number 3 times now and no SMS on any of them!
Did you change it then click on the link that said 'click to claim your ticket'..? If you did and it didn't send, you might want to ask support. ._.
:$ Didn't take notice of that - was expecting an SMS through after receiving the email. I had thought you clicked on that link after receiving the SMS! Thanks for pointing it out…
Just wondering - is everyone getting the same barcode number? Mine has 24008BD00001705. If it's the same, then maybe that PDF file can be posted here instead of everyone having to sign up as a member?
nope, got xxxxxx1894
Yup, I got a different bar code as well. I reckon it's generated specifically for each person, as is the response number.
Nothing wrong with signing up as a member anyway…XD -likes movies-
Sweet deal.
can any1 read the terms and conditions on the voucher?
It's kinda blurry for some reason.
"*Terms & Conditions: Present this pass at any Hoyts Cinema box office to redeem it for one complimentary general admission (excluding La Premiere, Directors Suite, thehalfpipe and Xtremescreen) on day of viewing only. Only one voucher is allowed per transaction, with only original unaltered vouchers accepted as valid. This voucher must be taken as offered and is not exchangeable, is not redeemable for cash and cannot be re-sold. This voucher cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer including special events, gala screenings, 3D movies and any other promotional offer or discount. This voucher must be used by 12/11/08 and is not valid online or with mobile ticketing. This voucher is not valid on public holidays. The Cinema Managers' decision is final."
There we go. Only problem I might have with that is the 'one per transaction' thing…if the person selling is smarmy and won't whoever I'm watching with get seats together. :(
Doesn't work for Queenslanders.
Gee, isn't that kinda harsh? It's not the deal's fault there aren't any Hoyts cinemas in QLD. XD
Just because there is no Hoyts in QLD it deserves a negative?
Your an idiot just cause your a cry baby does not give you the right to vent over this bargain. Go sit in the corner and cry over something important and not over someones e fought to go find a good bargain.
I trust its only for Ozzies then :o)
not our fault your state sux, hahahaha, go to seaworld instead. where can we leave negative feedback for your crappy state
LOL! ;) good one.
QLD rules!
seriously you 2 should take awya your negative votes. Its a good deal and well spotted. Just because it doesnt apply to your state, doesnt make it a bad deal or have any bad ramifications. We subsidise your petrol, be happy with that
it's alright, i think we can distinguish which negative votes are genuine and which ones are just plain stupid.
Apparently your state is ACT??? And there is Hoyts in ACT anyway…
Get a life and go have a cry…
Thanks jennkei
Works a treat. Thanks for sharing.
is this a single or double ticket ?
hmm. My pdf looks a bit strange (it is A4 portrait, but I'm missing a lot of words from the sides, which leads me to believe that the original voucher is A4 landscape..)
but at least the barcode is there so it should work!
QLDer's: If you get one of those Hoyts free movie vouchers, you can only use them at AMC cinemas. I can't see any AMC cinemas in the list though…
Yeah, I had lots of dramas updating my details too. Just ended up created a new one. I had to get them to re-send the sms, and when I finally go the confirmation email, the PDF was cut off. Hopefully they'll still accept it.
Anyone having problems with their code. Mines not accepting it and i've tried quite a few ways to enter it now (similar numbers/letters plus lower case and uppercase)
try geting a new code by clicking on "resend sms"
Hey where is this option??
I registered but never got the SMS / email. Some problem while registering. and now while updating my details i get the message "Sorry, we have encountered an error creating your account. Please sign up at the cinema. "
Please help
oh wow what an awesome deal
One great thing about this deal - the local Village Cinema will be absolutely empty for the next few weeks :-)
The local Hoyts down my way is in desperate need of renovation.
Nice bargain dude
Good freebie
pro
i think i have the same problem as kati for one of my tickets.
it's really zoomed up and doesn't have the blue sky, green grass and flowers but at least it has the barcode so it should work.
You have to give your mobile number, which I'm not too happy about, but it does seem to be a legitimate free movie ticket!
This is all i got in the e-mail after sign up:

could someone tell me where do i collect the free tickets?
Weird that you don't have a link to claim the ticket in your email. Try going back to the website and update your details. Maybe that'll work….
Same here, sounds like the offer isn't running anymore but I won't vote either way for this offer until we know for sure.
Tried redoing my profile and it still didn't work.
Same here, I tried to update my profile however the ticket claiming email has never come…
Claimed and printed today. Watched 'My Best Friend's Girl' today.
is anyone not getting the sms. i have signed up but have not gotten a ticket =-(
Seems like people are having some problems with this multi-step process. XD So I wrote the procedure for new members below. Not sure about people who update, but see if you've done all the steps I'm listing…if you have and something jammed at one point anyway, perhaps contact Support?
Sign up. After you do, you should see this page.

I got it fine (got the whole pdf, etc) when I just did it again, everything was instant. (Registered for my mom since she's too lazy to do it. :P)
PS: MARKUP IS SO TEDIOUS.
Edit: Watched Burn After Reading at Hoyts Broadway tonight! Went completely smoothly, accepted and scanned without any questions. :) Awesome deal. Puzzling show. XD
Nice jennkei good helpful stuff man. Great to have you here on ozbargain mate :)
Got one ticket that was overblown for a A4 page, but it did have the barcode shown. Theatre accepted it as they said only needed to read the barcode.
Saw "Burn after Reading. Good movie.
I'm giving this deal a negative vote because the Hoyts website is so god-awful bad, that it's basically unusable. Whoever built the Hoyts Club website should be marched off the premises for sheer incompetence. The deal itself would be great, IF THE WEBSITE WORKED.
In particular:
Pathetic. Negative vote, zero stars.
Worked fine for me!
I HAD NO PROBS AT ALL. FANTASTIC DEAL!!
Time to treat the family.. :)
yeah dont bother going to the cinema to get your profile updated. THey just took down my name and number and will (or rather may) contact head office.
works fine with me, no problems, got plenty tickets (more than 5) now :), thanks leon_rox
Now thinking what movies i'm gonna watch
Worked fine. However, I was not was not able to use it on movies on the 'no free tickets' list.
For people who tried to update information and received the error message “Sorry, we have encountered an error creating your account. Please sign up at the cinema.”
This is my solution:
Update your account as how you tried, but this time put in a fake mobile number, e.g. If your number is 0412345678, put it as 0412345679 or something else. Enter correct password and update. Note that the error message will come out as usual. IGNORE it.
Click on the BACK button. After that click on SIGN OUT button.
Click on Become a Member and register with a different email account, but this time with your real phone number and click sign up.
I am not 100% sure if it will work but it worked for me and hope it will work for you too.
do you need to show ID when you go to see the movie?
I dont wanna put my real details with this account?
They don't request ID. Have seen 4 movies with this promo! And everytime it's the same lady serving me, lol.
Is that with the same voucher/barcode or different vouchers (with different barcodes)?
Got mine +1!
For those who had an existing Hoyts account and couldn't update their details due to the "updating" error message, it appears Hoyts has fixed it up and it's now working.
Nice, got to use the tickets by 1st of November though!
